<p>I’m no true expert because i’m still kind of new to CC, but i think you have a great shot at getting into the colleges you listed. Your ACT score is good, and you prove that you are able to take the college workload by passing all of ur AP’s with 5s. Also, your EC’s show you are pretty balanced with sports and school. I think your rank hurts you just a little because you said top 25%. But i think, overall, you have a pretty good shot at them. I say go for it ;-). Keep in mind im no expert, just stopping by to share my opinions.</p>

<p>in everywhere but umich, as u probly guessed.</p>

4

<p>anyone else hate grade inflation (as your gpa+test scores suggest)?</p>

<p>good for all, and good at michigan if can raise act/sat scores to their 50%</p>

<p>hey,
i heard that the acceptance rates for Bucknell and Lafayette have decreased bc they both have a record # of apps this year</p>

<p>anyways, my stats are very similar to urs and i applied to buck and lafay except you have higher SATS and ACTs but my GPA is higher so i guess it balances out lol
anyways, good luck with your admissions process</p>

<p>Don’t all colleges get record numbers every year?</p>

<p>Good chance at Denison and Depauw. Rest are match/reach</p>

<p>I don’t want to be a jerk but</p>

<p>there is nothing special about your grades, ec’s or test scores.</p>

<p>i see that you live in Michigan.</p>

<p>your best option would be to consider Washtenaw Community College for 2 years and then transfering to either Eastern, Central, or Western.</p>

<p>At least try to get into Central or Western, but they seem to be a big reach for you.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>And what’s wrong with WCC?</p>

<p>i think those are all decent chances (some will be reaches) but if you can raise your class rank your into most</p>
